Grading will be based on assessment. In other words, tests, quizzes and other ways of assessing learning will comprise 80%-100% of student grades. Homework and practice will count for 15-20% of the grade in areas where homework is assigned.
Grades should be an accurate reflection of student achievement and learning, not just a reflection of effort. The average grades since this policy has taken effect is a "C" in most classes.
Although grades are based on test scores, homework and practice is still very important. Studies show that students who complete nightly homework score better on tests!
Please encourage your child to complete all work to the best of their ability, while showing commitment to learning and the action of practice and hard work. These skills will last a lifetime, while a grade only lasts until the next report card.
